Common questions
- What is HTS code 2920?
- HTS heading 2920 covers esters of other inorganic acids of nonmetals (excluding esters of hydrogen halides) and their salts; their halogenated, sulfonated, nitrated or nitrosated derivatives. It sits in Chapter 29 (organic chemicals) of the US Harmonized Tariff Schedule and contains 13 tariff lines.
- What is the duty rate for HTS 2920?
- General duty rates from 3.7% to 6.5%, with 1 duty-free line. The general rate applies to most-favoured-nation trading partners; goods from countries with a free trade agreement may qualify for a reduced or duty-free special rate.
- How many digits does a full HTS code have?
- US import entries require the full 10-digit HTS code. Heading 2920 is the first four digits — the remaining six narrow it down to the specific product, which is what determines the duty rate you actually pay.
